Sampay faces a domestic abuse battery charge after an incident last week involving the same woman, but Matherne declined to provide specifics.

Sampay doesn't face charges related to Monday because the woman said she was not being held against her will and was free to leave at any time. The hostage report, he said, came from a “third party” about 1 p.m.

Sampay had a shotgun in his possession, but it was not loaded and he had no ammunition.

The investigation is ongoing, but “right now there is nothing to charge him with,” Matherne said.

Sampay was in the Lafourche Parish jail this morning on a probation violation in Terrebonne Parish.
